May 1 is much more than lei day this year

Growing up in Hawaii, the first day of May was always filled with flowers and school Hula performances because (sing with me) "May Day is Lei Day in Hawaaaaaaiiiiiiiii." But this year, I am looking forward to May 1st not for it's fragrant flowers, but because DANIEL. HENNEY. swoon.

is he hot, or is he hot? his mom is Korean, and his dad is British. He grew up mostly in America, but found a career on the small and big screen in Korea. I first saw him in the Korean drama "My Lovely Samsoon." But he was in Spring Waltz and a couple of Korean films too.

Wait, so what does he have to do with May 1st?

That's the release date for X-Men Origins: Wolverine in which Daniel Henney plays Agent Zero. Somehow, someway, I am going to be parked in that dark theater to see it as soon as it's out. I haven't quite figured out who will be watching my kids as I snarf down popcorn and drool over him, but it's gonna happen.

Honestly, his acting in Korea was so so for the most part so I fretted about him not being that great in such a major American film. BUT, now I can watch knowing everything will be ok and I won't be embarrassed for him because my husband (deployed in Iraq) already got to see it (I guess they figured the troops all the way over there were special or something) and he says that Agent Zero was spot on.

So who is with me? And why do I get the feeling that there will be quite a few ajummahs in the crowd at this movie. I'm thinkin the usual high school/ college boy crowd will be mighty confused at all the Korean ladies elbowing their way to the best seats.

-Jooliyah, is tickled by the fact that Daniel Henney eats the stinky Korean food that she craves too.
